The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

Qiu Niang let out a cry, and cried, "My Lady, why did you leave? If you leave, the old slave will only be bullied wantonly. Open your eyes and see What is the situation of the old slave now?"

Ji Linglan said calmly: "If you are really innocent, why are you afraid of checking? Isn't it a sign of guilty conscience to be so nonsense now?"

Qiu Niang's voice faltered, and she continued to cry: "Your Majesty was raised by an old slave since she was a child. The old slave treated her more dearly than her relatives. Now that your Majesty is murdered, this old slave is wronged as a murderer. How can you not feel chilled?"

Compared to Qiuniang's nonsense, Ji Linglan remained calm and self-reliant, saying: "I didn't say you were a murderer, nor did I say they weren't murderers, I just wanted to check whether Qiuyi's words were true, but you kept crying like this , and even slandered her, didn't she draw the suspicion on herself? Mother Qiu has been in the palace for many years, why is she so confused today?"

Qiuniang's face changed, and she said: "This old slave is only because of the murder of my mother, and I was too sad for a while, so I made a speech without words, and I ask the prince to forgive me."

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling, seeing his pale face, said: "My lord, you are weak, you should move to the main hall for interrogation."

Fu Nanling nodded and said, "Come here."

After Fu Nanling gave an order, Gauss strode in from the outside, and there were a few eagle guards behind him, bowing and saluting: "My subordinates will see the prince."

"Bring them all to the main hall."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ji Linglan said aloud: "There is also this oil tank and that rabbit, and they are also brought to the main hall."

"Yes."

Fu Nanling and Ji Linglan led the way, followed by a group of people.

Five people walked towards them, the leader was a young man about 20 years old, wearing a crescent white round neck shirt, waving a folding fan in his hand, seeing Fu Nanling walking over, he said: "Hey, brother Sanhuang, this Where are you going?"

Fu Nanling frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Second Brother, isn't he busy with political affairs, why are you back?"

"Concubine Lin Guifei had an accident, and Brother Nine Emperors was not spared. This murderer is so bold, he must be a very vicious person. Brother Three Emperors has always been weak, how can I let you face it alone as a brother." Fu Nanping said sincerely cut.

Fu Nanling smiled sarcastically, and said: "Don't worry about it, Second Emperor, I'm fine, and I can handle this errand. If Second Emperor is fine, let's go see Father, Father She is not feeling well and needs someone to take care of her. Of course, there is also Concubine Lan Gui, who is sad now and needs the comfort of Second Brother."

Fu Nanling's face froze, he had just been to Fu Lianchao's bedroom, but because many ministers in the court repeatedly suggested making him the crown prince, Fu Lianchao didn't want to see him, so he was shut out.Concubine Lan Gui was restrained, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and he couldn't get in, so she returned here to see what would happen next.

"Father has already taken medicine to rest, so there is no need to serve around for the time being. There are servants waiting on the mother concubine's side. Resting for a few days will help you cultivate your body and mind, which is the father's love. I am worried about the third brother, so I simply came over to have a look I heard from Eunuch Pang that the corpses of Concubine Lin and the Ninth Prince have not been properly restrained, so there is something wrong with that." Fu Nanping reminded kindly.

After many years of fighting, Fu Nanling knew Fu Nanping too well, he couldn't be easily provoked, and his reaction now is normal.He smiled and said: "Concubine Lin Gui and Brother Nine Emperors were harmed by others. Rather than rushing to contain the corpses, I think it is better to find out the truth and give them justice, which is more comforting to their spirits in heaven. Second Emperor Brother, what do you say?" Woolen cloth?"

"What the third brother said is reasonable, how is the progress now, has anyone ever found out who the murderer is?"

"Never, so I don't have time to chat with Second Emperor Brother here."

Fu Nanling did not hide his dislike for Fu Nanping at all, and walked towards the main hall.With her head down, Ji Linglan followed Fu Nanling. When passing by Fu Nanping, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Ji Linglan paused and looked at Fu Nanping suspiciously.And Fu Nanping also looked at him straightly, with complex emotions in his eyes that he couldn't read at all.

Without waiting for Ji Linglan to speak, Fu Nanling stepped forward quickly, slapped away the hands of the two, pulled Ji Linglan aside, and said with a frown: "Second Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Fu Nanping restrained the emotions in his eyes, and explained: "Third brother, don't misunderstand, I just saw that he was a bit awkward, and followed closely behind him, fearing that it would be bad for him, so I made a move unconsciously. Three Brother, do you know who this Young Master is?"

Fu Nanling looked at Fu Nanping carefully, was silent for a while, and said, "I don't need to worry about this, Second Emperor Brother."

After Fu Nanling finished speaking, he pulled Ji Linglan and left, ignoring Fu Nanping's plan at all.

Ji Linglan couldn't help looking back at Fu Nanping, frowning even more tightly. He seemed to have seen this man before, and his voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Alan, what are you looking at?" Fu Nanling saw Ji Linglan's small movements, and felt a little displeased and faintly uneasy.

"My lord, Xiaomin seems to have met the second prince somewhere, and he looks familiar." Ji Linglan didn't hide anything, and truthfully expressed his inner confusion.

Fu Nanling's heart tightened, and he said quickly: "Have you seen him? How could you have seen him?"

"I don't know, not only the appearance is familiar, but also the voice seems to have been heard before."

Fu Nanling became more and more nervous, turned to look at Gauss, and said, "Take care of them, and I will interrogate them later."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Fu Nanling took Ji Linglan and walked quickly into the main hall.

Sensing Fu Nanling's abnormality, Ji Linglan asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Alan, Fu Nanping is not a good guy, you must not have any contact with him!"

"My lord..."

"Don't call me prince, call me Ah Ling!" Fu Nanling interrupted Ji Linglan with an eagerness that had never been in his tone.

Ji Linglan looked around, saw only the two of them, and called out softly: "A Ling, what's wrong with you? I'm just an insignificant pawn, how can I have any relationship with the prince?"

Scenes from the previous life flashed in his mind, and Fu Nanling became more and more uneasy, he reached out to grab Ji Linglan's hand, and said: "Alan, you are not a pawn, you are very good, good enough to be compared with anyone, good enough I'm afraid that one day you will leave me."

The uneasiness in Fu Nanling's eyes made Ji Linglan a little puzzled, he held Fu Nanling's hand instead, and said with a comforting smile: "A Ling, what are you thinking about, you and I are bosom friends, we are good friends, we can risk our lives Protected relatives, the same sentence, as long as you do not fail me and the world, I will not fail you either."

"Can……"

All kinds of past life made Fu Nanling feel like a stick in his throat. He didn't have the courage to tell Ji Linglan the truth, nor did he have the courage to express his love for him from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Linglan couldn't understand the complicated emotions in Fu Nanling's eyes. He waited patiently for the next words, but was interrupted by the movement outside the door.

"My lord, my master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter, please stop my lord." Xiao Lizi's voice came from the door.

"Presumptuous! Only you, a slave, can block the way of the lord?" The voice was strange and harsh.

"My lord forgives my sins, but this slave also obeys orders." Although Xiao Lizi spoke humbly, his tone did not give in at all.

Seeing that Fu Nanling was silent, Ji Linglan suggested: "A Ling, if there is nothing else, let's deal with the case first."

Fu Nanling sighed in his heart, and said: "Alan, after the case is settled, you can stay in my palace."

"Didn't I say it before? I will stay in Kyoto for a while, and then return to Yongning Town."

"What I mean is don't go back to Yongning Town, just live in the palace forever."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said: "How can this happen? My pharmacy has to be opened, and someone at home has to take care of it."

"Alan, if you want to open a medicine shop, then I will buy you a shop in the capital." Seeing Ji Linglan frown, Fu Nanling said pitifully: "Alan, my health is getting worse and worse. People are gone, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to see you for the last time."

Ji Linglan's heart twitched when she heard the words, and she frowned and said: "Don't talk such nonsense in the future, I don't like to hear it."

Fu Nanling's bright eyes dimmed, and he said, "But this is the truth."

Seeing this, Ji Linglan felt very distressed, and said, "Let me think about this matter for a few days."

Seeing Ji Linglan let go, Fu Nanling was overjoyed, if he had let Ji Linglan go outside before, although he missed him, he was not worried.But the way Fu Nanping looked at Ji Linglan today made him alert. Ji Linglan didn't understand the complicated emotions in Fu Nanping's eyes, but he could see clearly that it was definitely not the emotion that two strangers should have when they first met.Thinking about his own rebirth, Fu Nanling couldn't help wondering if Fu Nanping was the same as him.If it is the same, then with Fu Nanping's attachment to Ji Linglan, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent after seeing Ji Linglan.

"Alan, I knew you were the best for me!" Fu Nanling's phoenix eyes smiled into crescent moons.

"I only said to think about it, but I didn't promise you. Are you too happy?"

Even though he said so, Ji Linglan knew in his heart that he really couldn't help Fu Nanling, especially after seeing his sick appearance.

"Alan, take your time to think about it, don't rush. Let's settle the matter of Concubine Lin first."

Hearing the noise outside, Ji Linglan reminded: "A Ling should come forward to solve the outside affairs first, I'm afraid that Little Li will suffer."

"Alan, don't worry, no one dares to touch me except father."

The domineering person who was so pitiful just now suddenly lost his domineering side, which made Ji Linglan amused for a while.

Fu Nanling raised his voice and said: "Xiao Lizi, bring people in, the idlers are not allowed to enter."

"Yes, master." Xiao Lizi's reply came from outside the hall, "Where is the Eagle Guard?"

"Here!" The loud voices were in unison.

"The master has an order, and no one else is allowed to enter."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order!" Footsteps sounded immediately.

The door of the hall was opened, Xiao Lizi led a group of people into the main hall, but blocked Fu Nanping and others outside.

Looking at the Yingwei in front of him, Fu Nanping's face became ugly, and he raised his voice and said, "What is the meaning of the third brother? The case of Concubine Lin originally involved the third brother, and the father trusted the third brother. Against all opinions, let the third brother investigate the case of the murder of Concubine Lin Gui, wouldn't the third brother be criticized for what he's doing now?"

Fu Nanling said lightly: "There are few things about me that have been criticized by others. If it's not bad, I won't bother Second Emperor Brother."

"Third Brother, this is not about the death of a few servants, but about the imperial concubine and prince."

Ji Linglan pulled Fu Nanling, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, don't be willful, if he wants to come in, let him in, so as to stop those people's mouths."

Fu Nanling was silent for a while, then said: "Since Second Emperor Brother is so free, let's come in and listen."

After Fu Nanling spoke, the Yingwei at the door bowed and stepped aside. Fu Nanping gave him a cold look, and walked into the main hall.

Yingwei was Fu Lianchao's private guard when he was the prince, and he could not listen to anyone except Fu Lianchao's orders, but now he obeys Fu Nanling's orders. Such a change made Fu Nanping angry, but there was nothing he could do.

The little eunuch behind Fu Nanping just wanted to follow, but was stopped again by Yingwei.

The little eunuch said with an ugly face: "What do you mean? I am the prince's servant, why stop me?"

The eagle guard who guarded the gate said expressionlessly: "My lord ordered that no one else be allowed to enter!"

The little eunuch wanted to say more, but Fu Nanping said impatiently: "Okay, you can just stay outside."

Fu Nanping entered the door, looked at Ji Linglan unconsciously, and then sat down opposite Fu Nanling.

Ji Linglan kept her head down, so she didn't see Fu Nanping's eyes, but Fu Nanling could see it clearly, and she became more suspicious of him.

Fu Nanling looked at Xiao Lizi and said, "Have you brought everything?"

Xiao Li waved his hand, and the two eagle guards bowed to the front of the hall, holding a celadon vase and a navy blue hibiscus dress respectively in their hands.

Ji Linglan bowed slightly towards Fu Nanling, then walked up to Yingwei and took the vase over.There are three lotus flowers in the celadon vase, which are already in a semi-open state.

"Please ask Eunuch Li to bring an empty bowl."

Xiao Lizi responded and ordered the attendant at the door to bring an empty bowl.

Ji Linglan took out the flower branch and poured the water in the vase into an empty bowl. There was obviously a layer of oil stains floating on the water.Ji Linglan brought the bowl in front of Fu Nanling, and said, "Your Majesty, there are oil stains floating in the water in the vase, and there are also spots on the flower branches. It can be seen that this vase was used to hold oil."

Fu Nanling looked at Qiu Yi, and asked: "Qiu Yi, yesterday at the beginning of the hour, did Nanny Qiu enter the small kitchen with this vase?"

"My lord, it's this vase."

Ji Linglan turned her head to look at Qiuniang, and said, "Mother Qiu, how do you explain this? Why is there oil stain in the vase where the flowers are arranged?"

Qiu Niang hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't know why this vase is stained with oil. It must be Qiu Yi, a lowly maid, who blamed this old slave and deliberately poured oil into the vase."

"Qiu Yi, Qiu Yi is just a little cook, except for her calling, she can't enter her bedroom at all, so how can she pour oil into this vase?"

Ji Linglan asked a question, "Then how did you recognize this vase?"

"Returning to my lord, there was a time when the empress summoned her, and the servants saw her arranging flowers in this vase, so they were deeply impressed."

Fu Nanling said indifferently: "Mother Qiu, what else do you have to say?"

"My lord, this old slave really doesn't know anything about this matter. This old slave was wronged. Please also ask my lord to see clearly and give this old slave justice!"

Ji Linglan ignored Qiuniang's cry of grievances, picked up the navy blue dress, examined it carefully, and found some oil stains on the cuffs.

"Mother Qiu, how do you explain the oil stain on the cuff?"

"During lunch, the old slave used to oversee the work in the kitchen, so it is inevitable that there will be some oil stains on it."

"My lord, at lunch yesterday, Madam Qiu was not wearing this dress." Qiu Yi said again.

"You lowly maidservant, what enmity do I have with you, that you blamed me like this?" Qiu Niang glared at Qiu Yi viciously.

Qiu Yi seemed determined to oppose Qiu Niang, saying: "My lord, the relationship between Mother Qiu and Mother is not what she said, Mother Qiu's son likes to gamble, and the monthly money she has accumulated for many years has been taken by her son." Not to mention losing everything, I still owe a lot of debt."

Qiuniang's face changed drastically, she turned around and slapped Qiuyi, and said fiercely: "Qiuyi, if you continue to frame me with nonsense, I will risk my life and drag you to hell!"

"presumptuous!"

Xiao Lizi shouted sharply, and the Ying Guards on both sides immediately stepped forward, pulled Qiuniang away, and pressed her to the ground.

Fu Nanling said impatiently: "Drag it out and hit it."

"Yes."

Qiuniang looked at Fu Nanping and cried, "Prince Ping, Lord Ping, this old slave was wronged, please save this old slave."

Yingwei picked up Qiuniang and walked out, ignoring her screams and struggles.

"Prince Ping, this old slave was wronged, she was the wife of King Ling, and this old slave is just a substitute for the dead. Lord Ping, help me, save this old slave."

"Wait a minute." Fu Nanping stopped him.

Yingwei, however, seemed not to have heard it, and carried Qiuniang to the outside of the hall without stopping.

Seeing Qiuniang being dragged out, Fu Nanping frowned slightly, and said: "Third Emperor Brother, as far as I know, this Qiuniang is Concubine Liu Gui's nanny, she is closest to Concubine Liu Gui, how could she become a suspect now? Is it true that someone framed and framed it?"

"Brother Erhuang, you and I are still brothers, can we be as close as ordinary people think?" Fu Nanling smiled sarcastically, and said: "Father Huang asked me to take full responsibility for this case, Brother Erhuang just listen."

Fu Nanping's expression changed, he subconsciously looked at Ji Linglan, and then turned away.

"Third Emperor Brother, Mother Qiu kept saying that Concubine Lin's death was related to you, but now you are taking her away, you really have the suspicion of framing her."

"Framing the blame?" Fu Nanling smiled disdainfully, and said, "Second Brother, we know exactly who we are planting the blame on. Don't worry, I won't kill her. She has a chance to speak, Second Brother Do not worry."

Fu Nanping glanced at Ji Linglan, frowned and said, "What is the meaning of the third brother?"

Fu Nanling's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, he stopped talking to him, looked at Qiu Yi, and said, "Go on."

"Yes, my lord." Qiu Yi paused, and then said: "The debt collector threatened to cut off her son's hands and feet if he didn't pay back the money, so Mother Qiu had no choice but to ask the empress for help. The empress was kind and helped her to pay back the money." She won money, but she couldn't keep her son from betting again and again, and as time passed, the empress stopped helping her, and because of this, Mother Qiu's son lost a leg, and Mother Qiu and the empress had long since lost their hearts."

Ji Linglan asked aloud, "How did you know these things?"

Qiu Yi hesitated, and said: "My lord, this servant is from the same town as the father-in-law next to the empress, and this servant heard about these things from him."

Ji Linglan then asked: "Then why didn't you mention it when I asked before?"

"Returning to my lord, Mother Qiu is cruel and ruthless. The servants have been taught by her a lot, and they are timid for a while, and dare not answer truthfully."

"Then as far as you know, who else has a close relationship with Mother Qiu?"

"Returning to my lord, on weekdays, Nanny Qiu and Qiao Ling are the closest."

The screams outside stopped, and an eagle guard came in and said, "Go back to the lord, Mother Qiu couldn't stand the punishment and passed out."

"Find a room and find a way to wake her up."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ji Linglan looked at Xiao Lizi and said, "Please trouble Eunuch Li to bring the maids by your mother's side and Eunuch Ming for questioning."

Xiao Lizi responded, turned and left the main hall.

After a short time, another group of people came in from outside the hall, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, saying: "Slaves join the prince."

Fu Nanling glanced at the crowd, his gaze fell on the only eunuch present, and said, "Xiao Mingzi, what is your relationship with Qiu Yi?"

Xiao Mingzi was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "My lord, this servant and Qiu Yi are from the same hometown."

Fu Nanling nodded noncommittally, and said, "Who is Qiao Ling?"

Among the maidservants, a woman in a goose-yellow dress answered loudly: "My lord, the servant is Qiao Ling."

"Qiao Ling, Qiu Yi just said that Mother Qiu harbors resentment towards Concubine Lin, is it true?"

Qiao Ling looked around, but did not find the figure of Qiu Mama, and said: "Go back to the lord, Qiu Madam is my mother's nanny, she is the closest to her, she is always thinking of her, how could she have feelings for her?" resentment?"

Fu Nanling raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "I heard that Mother Qiu has a son who likes to gamble, is there such a thing?"

Qiao Ling was startled for a moment, then said: "Go back to the lord, the servants are not very clear about the affairs of Qiu Nanny's house."

"Then who among you knows?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.

With a 'bang', Fu Nanling slammed it on the table, and said with a gloomy expression: "Yes, a group of dog slaves, now that the imperial concubine and the prince have died unexpectedly, you dare not tell the truth, because you want the king to drag you out All chopped off? Someone, pull them out, a group of dogs who don't protect the master well, don't leave a single one!"

Following Fu Nanling's order, a group of eagle guards swarmed in.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, slaves tell the truth, slaves tell the truth..."

Seeing the eagle guards dragging people to the door, Fu Nanling was still indifferent, Ji Linglan said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty calm down, just give them another chance."

Fu Nanling frowned impatiently, and said: "For the last time, it's up to you to ask, what you ask, what they answer, if there is any hesitation or hesitation, then pull it out and chop it up!"

Yingwei heard the words and pulled everyone back, all of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they almost forgot that the prince in front of them was a famous evil star.

Ji Linglan asked aloud, "Who knows what's going on at Nanny Qiu's house?"

"Your servant understands." Xiao Mingzi spoke first, and said, "Your Majesty once sent this servant out of the palace to investigate."

"Then tell me in detail."

Xiao Mingzi pondered for a while, and said: "Before entering the palace, Mother Qiu had a family. Her husband's family name was Qiu. Mother Qiu's husband was named Qiu Ren, and her son was named Qiu Cai. Qiu Ren was a lazy eater, and Qiu Cai liked to gamble. He lives on the monthly bills from Mother Qiu. About a year ago, Qiu Ren asked someone to spread the word that Qiu Cai owed a large amount of gambling debts and was caught by the creditors. If he didn't pay back the money within three days, his arms and legs would be broken. Mother Qiu couldn't come up with any silver, so she begged in front of the empress. The empress was kind, and helped Mother Qiu pay back the money. Last year alone, the empress paid back nearly a thousand taels of silver for Mother Qiu. But not long after, Qiu The nanny came to ask for money again, but the empress saw that this was a bottomless pit, so she stopped giving money to Madam Qiu. A few days ago, the empress ordered the servants to go out of the palace to check the situation, and then she realized that the creditor really broke Qiu Cai's leg, and now he is walking become lame."

"Then does Mother Qiu hold a grudge for this matter?"

Xiao Mingzi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Recently, there has always been a lack of things in my mother's small storeroom. The storeroom has always been managed by Nanny Qiu and Qiao Ling. Qiao Ling knows this best."

As soon as Qiao Ling heard that the matter was pushed to her again, she quickly said, "Since when is there too little stuff in my mother's storeroom, Xiao Mingzi, don't you want to spout blood!"

Xiao Mingzi said calmly: "Just half a month ago, the empress asked the servant to go to the storeroom to get things. The servant found that a set of purple clay pots in the storehouse had disappeared, so he told the empress about it..."
